TIPS TO HOW TO SPOT FAKE ONITSUKA TIGER SHOES!!!!
NEW REVEAL THAT CHINESE PRODUCERS DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW !!!
NEW REVEAL THAT CHINESE PRODUCERS DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW !!!
On my previous post I have given you some link that talk and review about FAKE Onitsuka Tiger that floating around in the market.
But since then the Chinese Producer has learned and watched this remarks from Internet to improve their production to make it their product identical to the Authentic one.
Once again the attention on detail needed for you to avoid get rip off with this New and Improved FAKE Onitsuka Tiger.
Some of the points that previous writer and articles that may you have read still apply on the FAKE shoes as guidance for you.
On this review I will use one shoes Onitsuka tiger Mexico 66 Code HL202-1659 Color Birch/ Indian Ink/ Latte.
I will give you step by step how to Spot the FAKE one.
On this first picture the left hand side shoes are Authentic one the right hand side is FAKE grade AAA from China.
Left hand side shoes are produce in Indonesia while the right hand side mark as Made in Vietnam.
From this angle you will not see any different in this both shoes looks identical.
First, different that you can spot from this picture is the printed logo inside the insole. FAKE shoes has Bright Green ink used to print the logo while the authentic ones using lighter green color ink.
Please see next picture
From this angle you can see the color different on both shoes. The authentic shoes for code HL202-1659 has lighter beige color while the FAKE one has creamer color. You also can notice the leather appearance on these 2 shoes. The Authentic shoes has high quality leather and not glossy, while the FAKE one using glossy cheap leather.
From this picture you can see the color of outer sole also different. The FAKE's one has light Grey color while the Authentic one has light cream color. The picture below will show you clear the different on both shoes
Right hand side is AUTHENTIC, left hand side is FAKE.
You can see the different on outer sole color. BEWARE!!!
On the previous review from other writer, most of them mention about FAKE shoes has logo on their outer sole. But, the new and improved FAKE shoes has already no logo on their outer shoes.BEWARE!!! as I usually see this on Ebay and other online website.
When you buy your Onitsuka Tiger, the insole on all Onitsuka Tiger shoes always FIXED and not removable. Only FAKE shoes that has removable insole.
The weight on authentic shoes compare with FAKE one much lighter. A pair of authentic Onitsuka Tiger average only weight around 600grm , while FAKE shoes weight around 800grm-1kg. For this indicator will be very hard to spot without comparing direct side by side.
It is really scary for Onitsuka Tiger Fans knowing that the shoes that they loves and bought might FAKE.
On my review here I put more addition on previous review that has been done from other writer on this product.
If you have any experience or more additional on HOW TO SPOT FAKE ONITSUKA TIGER I invited you all to comment and discuss it on this forum.
The more information that we can gather mean we give education to everyone to avoid buying Onitsuka Tiger and spend our money to the correct and reliable product.
You can also share any concern that you have before buying shoes only here.
I hope that this article can help you guys and giving you some idea how good Chinese producer making this all favorites shoes looks identical.

OUR STOCKIST !!!
im confused about the left hand side and right hand side, please put some arrow.
ReplyDeletethanks for the update....im an onitsuka fan too. So you were saying that onitsuka from malls are fake too? Those stuffs are made in Vietnam....
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteThank you for your comment.I am not sure which mall that you are referring to? If the shop are authorized Onitsuka tiger stockist than definitely they selling authentic product.
On my experience all replica shoes like Onitsuka Tiger, Vans, Converse, etc always use removable insole ( only apply to casual shoes not apply to sport/running shoes) while authentic one always has fixed insole.
In addition most of the color that each company use are fixed every year as each color represent their color code. They might change the style but not on the color chart. For you may be hard to notice this thing, but if you would like to send me the picture than I might help you to identify them.
Last but not least attention to detail to spot fake is needed as well. I will post more picture on some color that may help on my next posting. As I said they make it looks similar but can not make it perfect match on my eyes :)
In regards on Made in Vietnam. Onitsuka Tiger still made in Vietnam, I am not telling that Made in Vietnam are fake. In fact OT made in Vietnam normally produce premium shoes such as Lauta, Vintage color, Deluxe etc. Chinese producer put made in vietnam on their shoes merely just to trick us that this made in Vietnam even though shoes come from china.The major producer for Onitsuka tiger are Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan,china and Thailand.Each country has been assigned with different contract and style which one they can produce. To spot fake we can not only base on the country that made the shoes, but a lot of indicator that you need to take on board. Best guideline are to compare shoes with onitsuka tiger official website.
Deletehi there, could u please have a look at the following link and tell me wether theyre fake or not? the images are high detail, and to me they look real, but i just wanna check wether u agree:)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ebay.com/itm/ASICS-ONITSUKA-TIGER-MEXICO-66-ultimate-81-kill-bill-california-78-SZ-US-11-NIB-/300695989522?pt=US_Men_s_Shoes&hash=item4602e0ad12#ht_500wt_898
Hi Adam,
Delete100% Legit. The fake version on this shoes will not have red insole and mark style code HL202 not like the one state on the box on link above. You can buy them if you are really interested.
The outer sole on your link above appear to be grey which is correct.
You can compare to this link below from Ebay Australia
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ONITSUKA-TIGER-ASICS-MEXICO-66-Blue-White-Red-/140737263643?pt=AU_Men_Shoes&hash=item20c498381b#ht_500wt_1202
On link above you need to give question mark on the product. Outer sole is appear white color and most probably will using different insole.
Hope this help :)
ok thanks a lot :)
Delete@ SaleishaK : I received email in regards 2 link below :
ReplyDeletehttp://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/574838_273958852694287_100002405237431_586017_836166741_n.jpg

Both shoes are FAKE.
For the green one as I said previously by judging the picture every one will 100% tell that they are original based there is no logo printed at outer sole.
But that is not apply anymore for this shoes. What I can spot for both shoes as follow:
1. Both shoes do not have the curve in front of the toe.
2. The product code on Yellow/Black definitely wrong code. The code for this color should be HL202-0490.
3. They did not take the picture of the back of the heel on the shoes, therefore I can not see if the stripe for the yellow one black stripes or yellow stripes.
Please refer to link follow : http://www.onitsukatiger.com/fr-be/collection/product/MEXICO-66-HL202-0490
Link above is the AUTHENTIC yellow/black tiger.
4.Most important is the stitching on both shoes done badly. you can see on the stripes each shoes.
Most probably they mark as made in Vietnam but I will not buy these 2 shoes for sure :D
Hi! It's a good thing people are trying to help each other not to get ripped off by sellers claiming to sell authentic/original OT's. Keep up the good work! Anyway, I'm no expert and I want to be able educate and help others spot fake OT's. Here's a link of an online seller claiming to have authentic/original OT's. http://malanting.multiply.com/photos/album/30#photo=3 . Can you guys verify whether they're selling authentic/original OT's? It's really hard to spot a fake one even with many tips from the internet.
ReplyDeleteHi JC,
DeleteThank you for your email.
In regards the link in question, I already have a look them and can confirm that all the shoes appear on this link are FAKE shoes.
All the shoes has false branding issue which will be long explanation if I have write them each individual item.
I will give you one example of their product link :
http://malanting.multiply.com/photos/album/31/NEW_MEXICO_66-_NEW_AVAILABLE_STYLES_EUR_40-45
From link above seller try to show the outer sole on some of the some, but why he/she doesn't want to show others? My guess answer because the outer sole will have Onitsuka tiger logo on them which false.
Looking at the code on the box, you can try google them as well. None of the result refer to official website of Onitsuka Tiger which www.onitsukatiger.com.
Last but not least please ask them whether the shoes has removable insole or fixed one. As Authentic only use fixed insole.
Hope this help :)
Hi.
DeleteCould you tell me if these shoes are legit?
http://www.boccisport.com/store/en/onitsuka_tiger/mens_onitsuka_tiger/onitsuka_tiger_mexico66_sporting_low_bcc29125.html
I have a doubt about the main color of the shoe.
Thanks
Hi Jean,
DeleteThank you for your link above.
I browse through all their collection and checking by the measurement as well I can confirm all their shoes are genuine.
You can ask them a question if you still doubt such as : the manufacture country, some pictures as well if they do not mind.
Looking on their profile as well they are good established business so I am not to worry being the will deliver Fake product to you.
Hope this help :)
Thank you so much for your fast answer.
ReplyDeleteThe fact is that I'm looking for the HL202-1659 (very hard to find), but the shoes I wanted you to check (boccisport) seem to be different.
The main colour is beige, whereas the HL202-1659 is white.
According to you, the shoes from bocci sport (the link I gave to you)are HL202-1659 or not?
Thanks (and sorry for my english, I'm french);)
Hi Jean,
Deletelink that you send me indeed HL202-1659.
1659 is not white but birch which close to beige but not so cream.
The picture on boccisport could be different due to the lighting perhaps.
According to the sizing chart that they have 100% sure that they are supplying authentic product.
Ok.
ReplyDeleteBut I still have a doubt, because when you zoom on the blue stripes, the stitching seems to be bad.
There is an other thing I don't understand : if the sole is white, dos it mean that the shoe is fake?
For example : http://www.stylefile.fr/asics-tiger-mexico-66-chaussures-beige-bleu-fid-6081.html
And you can see that the stitching of the stripes is perfect.
Hi Jean,
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion to you that you ask them to send pictures for the actual shoes. Boccisport only put up 1 picture which not enough
The outer sole for this code is not white. Color for the outer sole is birch has little bit green color blend with cream.
I can see your concern here, you need to contact their customer service first and ask them to send related information that you have doubt for.
For your tips:
1. Ask the actual picture on the shoes to be sent to you
2. Ask the picture for the box and size label tag inside the shoe tongue
3. Asking whether the insole are fixed.
Those 3 main concern that you need to ask and let me know if you need more help.
3.
Ok, I'll do that.
ReplyDeleteThank you again.
Hiya, I recently bought 2 identical onitsuka tigers for me and my brother from ebay. The seller said they were ex-displays and did not reply when I ask whether its real. I was stupid enough to bid for both before receiving their answer. I told them that I would pay if they tell me its real or not. They open a case on ebay cause I didnt pay. I paid or the shoes believing they are real as I read through their feedbacks.I have received them and now I think they are fake. I wondering if you could take a look at the photos of both shoes. How do i send them to you. Can i have your email address.I would really appreciate your help cause Im buying this as a birthday gift for my brother. Thank you
ReplyDeletePlease send picture to footweargallery2010@gmail.com

=)
This one is FAKE one sorry.
DeleteI will not buy from this site.
Please avoid to buy from Gmarket, ioffer etc.
Hi Richard,
ReplyDeleteThey sell authentic shoes and the link of the shoes that you send me are exclusive colorway for Hype.
In regards your question for the suede toe overlays my suggestions:
1. Please check the size tag on both shoes, it could be they sent different size
2. If comes to sale item like this, sometimes shop like this get either defect product or B Grade product. Both product still legit and factory still allow them to sell in the market. On your case it may be possibility you are receiving the defect product which not pass QC. Can you see the QC sticker on the box?
3. If you still do not feel they are the correct size you could send the shoes back as I think they have 365days hassle free return policy for refund or exchange.
Hope this one help :)
Hi
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of this Ebay store?

Deletehi, i need to know which U.S. websites sell authentic onitsuka tiger shoes.. i plan to purchase and sell in the philippines..

please enlighten me which U.S. sites to trust for OT shoes.. thanks so much!!
this is 100% fake.
DeleteTrusted us site will be :
www.zappos.com ; http://www.sportiela.com
Hope this help :)

hi again!!
ReplyDeleteis this site selling authentic onitsukas?
http://www.classicsportshoes.com
thanks in advance!! :)
Looks good for me. Good bargain. Thank you for sharing :)
DeleteHi can you help me how to spot on fake mexico midrunner?
ReplyDeleteCause i am dying to get one on my trip to singapore, is it possible for them to sell a fake one on the store like in orchard etc?
And can you tell which is original or fake by wearing them, different comfortness maybe?
Thank you
My easy tips and 100% accurate just check the insole is fixed or removable. For authentic must be fixed also outer sole will be have no logo.
DeleteI have two mexico baja with fixed insole, and its a fake. I think they are fake cause i bought it cheap,and they arent comfortable to wear.I also noticed that all pictures on the net showed midrunner with logo on the outer sole. What do you think about that?
DeleteMidrunner mexico 66 do not have any logo on the outer sole unless they are lauta. Thank you.
Deleteplease share website link here so i could tell you.
http://www.asicstigershare.com/asics-onitsuka-tiger-mid-runner-c-67.html
DeleteThere you go,maybe you can share your thoughts with me.
And what about the mexico baja i told you before? Imho the counterfeiters are getting smarter, they will do anything to make a good copy of onitsuka.
Just for info,i bought my mexico baja around 3 years ago on the flea market, cost me only around $25.
Well thank you, hope you can share more of your knowledge.
I know they are getting smarter, but for fixed sole they can not copy it. Fixed meaning FIXED you can not remove them how hard you want to remove the insole as they are intact together with the base. Please refer to www.onitsukatiger.com choose Japan as country and translate them with english so you can see the description on each shoes.
DeleteThe shoes on the link that you gave me are FAKE. Each shoes has code on your link the seller can not provide you the code. The description that appears on website only basic color.
If you want buy from the net, ebay etc please ask the sizing chart for the shoes as well. Onitsuka Tiger has SPECIFIC sizing chart for example size US 9.5 should appear on the sizing tag as EUR 43.5 ( MUST). Chinese producer run their sizing Chart based on NIKE sizing chart on every FAKE shoes they produce.
I hope this help you

DeletePlease take a look at this website also :)
This far your answers helps me a little...still i am afraid that i might purchase a fake one
Is there any way that we can stop this conterfeit mafia?
Cause its so sad seeing my favorite brand of shoes become less and less famous...
Thank you somuch for the info.
http://jualonitsuka.weebly.com/genuine.html
DeleteUnder link above that genuine product i can confirm but the rest are FAKE
Is there any way that we can stop this counterfeit mafia? Of course not.
DeleteThe one that can stop the mafia is the buyer. If some people still like to wear FAKE because they can not afford to buy the genuine one what can you say about it.
Counterfeit still flow in the market because there are buyer for it. From this forum I hope my info can help people like you to be more aware and not buying FAKE one.
Please compare what I said previously :
http://jualonitsuka.weebly.com/size-chart.html ( Size chart for fake item)
http://jualonitsuka.weebly.com/genuine.html ( open on this link and see the different on sizing )
Buying online a bit risky but BARGAIN every where
Hi, Could you please verify if the link below is selling genuine or counterfeit shoes. Thank you so much for this informative blog site!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/view+classifieds/id/6144038/The+Real+Onitsuka+Tiger.+Nippon+Made+%22Authentic+Japan%22+best+offer!?referralKeywords=onitsuka+tiger&event=Search+Ranking,Position,2-1,21
Hi,
ReplyDeleteAll of them are FAKE shoes. The genuine Mexico 66 Nippon Made retail around US$300 imposible for anyone to sell less than $100 also is Pre-order shoes that most likely come from China producer.
Check www.onitsukatiger.com choose Japan as country find the nippon made collection shoes and compare the color with your link above.
I need to be straight here that price will reflect to the quality on most cases unless your supplier/seller selling old stock that might be below the market price, but will not be far from rock bottom price which $50 for normal Mexico 66.
Hope this help :)
How about these two links below:

On my experience the website that always put brand on their domain (except official website/official blog for the brand) there is 99.99999% probability they are selling a fake product.

ReplyDeleteJust to inform : I have ordered on a website and never received the shoes : www.onitsukatigercenter.com
I created an account. I saw -too late- that there is no phone number and no postal adress. I sent 3 mails to adress found but no answer.
I thought it was the official website ! Well done !
Be carrefull and tell if there are other cases.

Hi Neil,
DeleteSorry to hear that. If you paying by credit card you can lodge a dispute.
Thank you for sharing.
I looked at your examples, but still did not understand about the curve of the toe. Can you describe this point in more detail?
ReplyDeleteCurve of the toe only has on Authentic onitsuka tiger shoes.
DeleteThe rubber to protect the suede toe that normally has on Onitsuka tiger shoes. If you wear the shoes you will feel the rubber protect your toe, while the FAKE one just under your toe.
toes touch rubber, not leather inside the Authentic onitsuka tiger shoes?
ReplyDeleteThere is no rubber inside. I am saying about the rubber outside, when you put on the shoes the rubber should located just close to the toe while fake one normally under the toe.
DeleteBecause of this the appearance on the front shoes on FAKE normally higher than authentic one. The rubber pressing the suede part deeper compare to FAKE one.
Really hard to see if you are not compare side by side, but the most important to spot FAKE just asking the insole.
The insole MUST be FIXED for authentic onitsuka tiger.
thanks for the response
Deleteit was very helpful
You are welcome.
Deletehey i would like to know if this site r authentic or not??? are the shoes authentic or not??? if the r fake then can u give me a link of a site which sells original ones...

ReplyDeleteI need to know if those are fake or real.
I can't find the item code for that anywhere because its a black sole, but the original one i wanted is HL202-0123. If you know where to buy a real one for that code, please recommend me a few online stores to buy! Thanks!
i have mention in mant occasion please do not buy from gmarket.

i suggest you buy from ebay!
thank you
I see, do you know where I can get the model I want? Not sure which ebay seller is good :/
DeleteIf you are referring to the place I need to know where do you located? If you are asking who is Ebayer that selling this model should be appear on their listing the product code that you mention above
DeleteI live in Singapore.
DeleteAlso, can you tell me why all the fakes have unfixed soles?
ReplyDeleteThat question is not for me to answer but for the producer of FAKE shoes to answer.
DeleteThe standard all authentic Onitsuka Tiger should have fixed insole.
FAKE is FAKE, should be has something different how they want to make it with low cost and with hope can sell with high price.
Thank you for such quick replies! Hopefully you can recommend me another website to buy the HL202-0123 because ebay doesn't have my size.

Is it authentic?
Hi,

Hi i would like your feedback on this too. Will post images on the shoes soon.
ReplyDeleteThey told me its surplus from warehouse, therefore cheaper.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Top-Shoes/213548955336764
Hi,
DeleteI never believe such reason there is surplus from Warehouse.
Please ask them which warehouse they referring to. Chinese Warehouse LoL..
I have a look the picture as well and 100% FAKE product. The only reason that I might believe if someone working in the factory and take the stock from factory then sell them that still reasonable. Which this little bit illegal.
Just ask them the code appear on the box of their shoes, try search in google. Check what is come up on your google search result, if the result appear a lot anonymous website comeback then BIG QUESTION mark need to be asked to your supplier.
Surplus from warehouse NEVER Exist....

Deletebut again personally i will not buy from them online...
additional info.. airkewld most of online seller of OT here in philippines are fake... i tried 3 online seller with a competetive price and said to be made in vietnam i met up with them and all are fakes...The physical looks, the color, and the texture u can tell to urself that it is fake. i love OT i have 4 pairs of them 1 from us and 3 bought localy on malls official onitsuka tiger outlet. Lesson? even OT phil has the higher price (currency rates) compare to other other country i will not think twice just to assure that im wearing an AUTHENTIC ONITSUKA TIGER.

ReplyDeleteIf you read their description they have told you that they shoes is coming from China. 100% new in box and do not tell you 100% Authentic and new in box :)
DeleteFurthermore, if checking the sizing that they mention is not Onitsuka Tiger Sizing standard.
Definitely this one is FAKE, I will not buy.
Hope this one help :)

ReplyDeleteHi I already buy two pairs of onitsuka shoes from amazon prime but I'm not quite sure.Is it authenthic or not .Could you help me for check via this link (http://postimg.org/gallery/63roro3s/)Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sorry for my late reply.
DeleteBoth are authentic.
i love this blog im a OT fanatic too.. he's an expert he can easily spot which is genuine or not... i tell you guys theres a LOT of floating fakes OT online and even malls. its very hard to compare if your new to these products. my sugestion is if you want to buy a pair go to official OT store and respected shoes stores in your country even the price is a little bit higher atleast you know to yourself that you are wearing a uathentic ONITSUKA TIGER. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Leo,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your compliment.
HI! can you kindly check if this guy is selling legit OT
ReplyDeletehttps://www.facebook.com/lem.villarta/photos_all
Many thanks :)
can confirm 100% authentic.
DeleteGood collection !!
yes lem villarta is the first online seller i saw selling legit ot in ph. most in sulit.com are fakes unless they are 2nd hand and bought officially from malls but limited models and small price difference compare to ot store... but Nippon made you need to think twice. legit mexico 66 deluxe ranges from 21 to 23 thousand yen respectively, equivalent to 10 to 13 thousand pesos :))
DeleteI might need to clarify on Lem Posting on Sulit ph, not all legit. On Facebook that I have check they are legit shoes.
DeleteThe listing as follow that is not legit :

is this store legit http://www.onitsukatigerstore.com?
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteThey only selling FAKE. I need to mention again official website only www.onitsukatiger.com
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI came across to one online shop for onitsuka, i asked them why their mexico 66 have a logo on the sole. They told me thay it vary on which country the shoe is manufactured. Is this true? Thanks
You could share the link here.
DeleteThere is no such reason. Global branded always has their standard not depending on their factory.
The only mexico 66 that has logo on their outer sole only Lauta ( which in sole made with leather and has lace hole made with metal ) or Mexico 66 bike pack (which upper leather with hole)
If they are not these 2 models than they are FAKE.
http://www.onitsukatigerstore.com/onitsuka-tiger-mexico-66-black-gold-p-1159.html?zenid=7fc868f0c3e856be5aeb0896541bb9d3. Here is the website and this is the exact shoe I inquired.
ReplyDeleteThis the same website that Candice asking previously.
DeleteAll items sold are FAKE !!!
hi, I would like to know if this site is selling a legit OT. http://assortedandgifts.com/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=482 been thinking on buying on this site but I'm having doubts. thank you mate! :)
ReplyDeleteFAKE FAKE FAKE....
DeleteI can say no.1 Philipine online store selling FAKE products.
Need to avoid this site same as gmarket....
Hi,
ReplyDeleteIf a pair of Kanuchi style Onitsuka Tiger shoes have a logo on the bottom of the shoe (underside of sole) does that mean they are fake?
Our shoe has Onitsuka Tiger logo built into the bottom of the shoe.
This what I can say to you.
DeleteFirst of all there is not Onitsuka tiger Kanuchi (please try search on OFFICIAL website for ONITSUKA TIGER)
In summary if your supplier or website you would like to buy the shoes from using term Kanuchi than 100% FAKE. Do not need to think twice even look the bottom of the shoes. Just simple they FAKE
On my understanding Kanuchi only use for Chinese Knock Off Product.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteCan you check if this is fake. I have the same shoes as this.
http://www.onitsukatiger2s.com/onitsuka-tiger-mexico-66-deluxe-nippon-made-blue-yellow-p-38.html
Please refer to all my replies.
DeleteThey only official website is www.onitsukatiger.com
The website that you share just selling FAKE items.
http://www.onitsukatigerstore.com/mexico-66-onitsuka-tiger-mexico-66-deluxe-c-1061_3.html i guess this store selling fakes onitsuka.
DeleteThere is only 1 official site for ot try to look at japan taiwan korea hong kong ot offcial site there are few colors of mexico 66 deluxe and compare the price... These rare piece handcrafted from japan is too pricey so bare in mind when you see mexico 66 deluxe in very low price it is a FAKE!
Delete@Jose : Yes you are right. They only selling FAKE items. And I have mention those website previously as well
Deletehttp://www.onitsukatigernipponmade.com/deluxe-mexico-66-shoes-c-1.html#.Udf4Lfk3C1s - how about this site?
DeleteAs I said official website only www.onitsukatiger.com NO other website that can use onitsuka tiger on their domain.
DeleteAnd your link only content FAKE nippon made onitsuka tiger shoes.
This shoes retail around US 300 so less than that with range size and color you need to give big QUESTION mark.
Thank you
thanks foot wear gallery.. I have doubts with what I've bought I'll be emailing you the pictures later today or tomorrow. Thanks again.

Deletestill can not open them as the pages not exist perhaps.
Deleteany way is the price seem to good to be true then do not buy if you would like to own authentic shoes, but if you want something cheap then it doesnt matter.

ReplyDeleteCan you please take a look and check if these are real? This shop offers OT shoes at only 800k & 900k Vietnam Dong, about 40~45 USD and almost full sizes as well. They claim that they know ppl working in OT outsourcing factories and can get products out but I really doubt that.
This is their page: https://www.facebook.com/OnitsukaTigerVietnam
Thanks.
Hi,
DeleteThank you for sharing you picture, but with one picture I can not tell you anything sorry.
But for the facebook page just FAKE stocks they owned and sell, please do not buy from them.
If there is the case he knows somebody inside the factory, its impossible to get the whole range out from the factory.
I have dealt with this kind of person which impossible for them to take a lot of stock. All OT stocks made based on contract, all the raw materials have been supplied by OT with precious measurement and proper budget. Finished stock has batch and stamp dated with code each operator who made the shoes, if there is illegal stock floating around they will easily identify them.
My advise do not believe with all excuse and reason until you see the real product. Check and feel the product will be more satisfying on my experience.
Thank you
Thanks for the reply. Also can you share some pictures of an authentic OT shoes' label cuz I've never owned a pair? (Sadly :(). And normally for famous-brand shoes the label is heat-pressed into the tongue so they will look like its part of tongue. But in the picture that I showed you it seems like the label is only sewn into the tongue.
DeleteNOT Always. The label that showing on picture does exist for old OT production from Vietnam. But for all current stock they normally use the heat pressed label.
DeleteI have put a BEST GUIDELINES to spot FAKE OT. The label is not the big deal to spot them. If one of my point that I have put together is not match then we as buyer need to question the seller very hard... Please read my latest posting in this blog...
Anyway I will share them once shortly...

Can you tell if these are legit?

Sorry to have requested a lot lately man. Thanks a lot in advance
Hi,
DeleteThis just FAKE
Why?
The black : The stitching on the strip is badly done even though the seller showing the bottom sole without logo. I still can pick this shoes just cheap FAKE.
The blue : same as above and also the bottom sole not suppose to be white color. For this range need to have light grey sole and might be there is logo on the bottom therefore they did not posting the bottom sole.
What can I advise to you if you are looking to buy please get something from reputable website !!!! e.g. amazon, asos, glue store(Australia), Hype (Australia)
If you only looking on the price than 1 and the only one advise if the price is going to good to be true then do not buy.
If you living in Philipines retail price will be 4,700 peso. LESS than 50% then do not buy most probably they are FAKE.
May be for anyone who likes browse on Facebook especially in philipines. Please avoid this one as well :https://www.facebook.com/tiger.onitsuka.923
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI really love your blogspot and Thank you so much for giving this information, makes think twice before i got duped! =D
I have come across this website from ebay, and they can guarantee if the product are authentic. Though after reading your blogspot, I kind of skeptical since when its made in Vietnam and I am not 100% sure if they have the correct sole. Thus I really need your help to confirm this. I am after the yellow/black and blue/red/white ones.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190819947035&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:AU:1123
Thank you so so much!
I have seen this seller on Ebay.
DeleteThey just sell fake stuff. The stock that appear with price tag just to make everybody believe that they are selling legit.
If you see the yellow shoes, the back of the heel should have black strip as well while his picture the one cover with plastic looks like has yellow color which chinese made.
For Ebay Australia I would recommend linaihui81, lilingshu, or tommy.nguyen87 which has legit shoes but limited on sizes and stock.
You could ask them they might can help you and check their feedback as well.
They need to try harder with me LoL
Anyway thank you for visiting my blogspot ^^
Hi
ReplyDeleteCan you tell if these are fake?
http://www.tigercentral.co.uk/
This website is selling legit Onitsuka Tiger.
DeleteYou can search all the product code and color appear on each shoes on google. Check the result that comeback,if the result comeback with anonymous website this probably fake shoes.
Code and color code is design specifically unique only for Onitsuka Tiger. The fake on always using random code and if you put them on google will be giving you a result with website that located in China and not reliable.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Appreciate your assistance in helping us check the links too.
I am looking at the RX 78-2 edition Onitsuka shoes. Wondering if the shoes in the below links real or fake?
www.onitsukatigers.us
www.onitsukatigernipponmade.com
Both FAKE
DeleteThanks for the response. Appreciate it! :)
DeleteKnew there was something amiss when both sites are so similar. How did you tell?
Also, any idea where can I get nippon onitsuka series shoes online? I am interested in the model TH9J4L-RX78-2.
Here for your info Chinese source that selling fake RX 78-2
Deletehttp://v.yupoo.com/photos/0955/albums/7674361/
This album came from the supplier in China which i believe soon will be marketing around the Globe.
Please be AWARE !!!
The picture still marketing picture which using the Authentic shoes, I have not seen the actual picture yet.
I will asking my contact in China to find out for me and then I will post them here for all of you.
Also as I mention a million time that the only official website is www.onitsukatiger.com, any other website that using ONITSUKATIGER on their domain just to try confuse you and try make them real.
DeleteWhy do you think that website is legit? I believe because of the name of the domain using onitsukatiger
Not exactly. I know there is only an official site.I saw this gundam model in the link below and it seems real enough hence started looking for it.
Deletehttp://poladiary.com/2012/11/24/onitsuka-gundam/
I was searching for it online and these two sites came out. Whatever the name of the sites was does not matter to me, as long as the shoes are authentic.
I had my suspicions and I stumbled upon your post, hence I decided to check with you. Lucky me, all thanks to you! :D
So no easy way to get the nippon made shoes then? :)
If you asking no easy way to get RX 78-2 legit one the answer you need to pay around $600
DeleteThis who selling 100% authentic
http://www.onitsukatigerclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=579
Also this shoes has been published since 2012 and chinese supplier only make them this year.
Took them 1 year to replicated this model.
If you are looking BARGAIN for new style Onitsuka Tiger, you need to think twice as most of them probably FAKE.
Many thanks man! My wife n I are fans of onitsuka shoes though we don't personally own many pairs. Your post is a real eye opener.
DeleteBeside the site u recommend, me found another site too. Seems like Thailand people really love this brand. Lol

Can you share your thoughts on the above images. The seller claims that they were taken out from factory but they also have boxes so I kinda doubt it.
Interesting a new style on FAKE stuffs...
DeleteYes may be he is correct this was taken from factory that produce FAKE shoes.
Why I can say this one FAKE?
Sizing chart on Onitsuka Tiger for size US 9 will be equal to EUR 42.5 not 42 as stated in the box
I more interesting to see the sizing tag inside the shoes.
